Maggie is nominated for playing a journalist and Beau Bridges' love interest in Crazy Heart, but it's her daughter, Ramona, 3, who holds this actress's heart in real life.

In It's Complicated Meryl Streep plays Nancy Meyers, a divorcee and mom juggling relationships with her ex-husband and boyfriend. The actress is also a mother of four grown children with her husband Don Gummer— Henry, 30, Mamie, 26, Grace, 23, and Louisa, 18.

Being honored for her portrayal of spitfire Leigh Ann Touhy who adopts son Michael Oher in The Blind Side, Sandra Bullock's life is a bit of a parallel to her character's. Sandra had instant children when she married Jesse James in 2005 and became a stepmom to his two daughters and son.
